> US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the death of a Russian plague laboratory worker did not appear linked to a biological weapon. He said officials would find out soon, but added, “We don’t think so.” Russia had warned against “false” information as reports of a second suspected case emerged, while the US and UN urged greater transparency.
